delegate was speaking he allowed himself to
be interrupted by an incoherent Socialist,
who made hot-headed speech The ortho-

just the argument | wanted to make why
these contesting Socialistic delegates should
not be admitted" The convention saw the
point and said so. Before the Socialists went
to bed they appreciated the fact that this
isn't their convention, and that they won't
be recognized in it. They won't fight the
conv entlen, but will hold private confer
ence of their own and lay their plans.

Robbing the Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug 1s.-For some
time past freight cars of the New York divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad have been
broken into and robbed of all kinds of goods
Every effort was made to detect the robbers,
but despite the great precautions taken the
robberies continued, and cases and packages
disappeared Last week Special Officers
Miller and Stevens discovered that two brake
men employed on the road were making nu-
merous visits to pawn shops. An investiga-
tiou showed that the two men had at various
times pledged a variety of goods. The Off
GERS arrested the two men on Friday, and
from subsequent knowledge obtained by the
officers two more brakemen and a woman
were taken into custody charged with com
plicity in the robberies The names of the
prisoners are: Frank Drake and his wife
Walter Lands, George Fmeffrock end Ar
thur Culbertsou. A large amount Of the
stolen goods was found in the houses of tbs
accused. The four men and the woman
were held for a further hearing on Tuesday

not been arrested, as they fled upon the arresI

BRUTALITY MOST INTERNAL.
A Resident of Indiana Commits Mos,
Atrocious Crime.

MoNRoEvuLE, Ind, Aug. iS-One of the
most horrible cases of brutality ever perpe-
trated has just come to light. About ten
months ago John Waterside, Frenchman,
who resides at Smiley. this county, sought in
marriage woman named Baugbman. She
objected to an immediate marriage, wanting
him to wait until after the birth of her un.
born child, of which he was not the father
He urged the matter, and they were married,
and in the meantime the child was born and
is now months old He has been heard to
say by neighbors that he would get rid of the
brat, and that he had almost killed the d-n
thing, and would finish it yet.
The township trustees investigated the mat
ter, and called Drs. Herrod and Brattan II
their assistance, who, after examining the
child found that one leg and arm were
broken, the latter being broken in two places
below the elbow, requiring immediate ampn
tation, as modification had begun There is
no doubt that Waterside injured the child
the last of July, and it had lain until Wednes
day without attention. DR.. Brattain say,
the leg will have to be amputated Water
side is now i'll jail awaiting the result of thu
chtlt's injuries
